Siemens 5SV1316-0KK06 RCBO, 2-Pole, 6A, B-Curve, 30mA, Type AC

The Siemens 5SV1316-0KK06 is a high-performance 2-pole RCBO that integrates residual current and overcurrent protection into a single, compact device. Designed for modern electrical distribution systems, this unit ensures reliable monitoring and rapid disconnection in the event of short circuits, overloads, or earth leakage faults. Its space-saving design makes it an efficient solution for protecting individual circuits in both residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

This RCBO offers significant space efficiency by combining two essential safety functions into one compact module, which is particularly beneficial for installations with limited space in distribution boards. The device provides high operational reliability and safety, effectively mitigating risks associated with electrical faults. Its robust construction ensures long-term durability and consistent performance under standard operating conditions, contributing to the overall stability of the electrical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial building circuit protection
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits
• Prevention of electrical fires caused by leakage currents

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed for AC systems and may not be suitable for circuits where DC components are present, as it is a Type AC device. It is also not intended for high-current industrial machinery that requires higher amperage ratings or different tripping characteristics.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Rated current: 6A
• Tripping characteristic: B-curve
• Residual current sensitivity: 30mA
• Device type: AC

How to use

The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. Ensure that the supply voltage matches the device specifications before connection. Once installed, the device can be manually switched on or off using the toggle lever, and it will automatically trip if an overcurrent or residual current fault is detected.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6A rating is appropriate for the specific circuit load.
• Ensure the 30mA sensitivity meets the safety requirements for the intended application.
• Confirm that the Type AC classification is compatible with the connected equipment.
• Check available space in the distribution board for a 2-pole device.

Usage recommendations

Regularly test the functionality of the RCBO using the integrated test button to ensure the protection mechanism remains operational. It is recommended to perform this check at least every six months to maintain optimal safety standards.
